rejected at yale and stanford

Jawhawk, I'm so sorry to hear about Y & S. Both amazing, wonderful schools - but you've gotten into 8 amazing wonderful schools already And I do hope you pick Harvard - I think that after three years there, you'll really feel like it was the right decision for you. It's a great place.

Sorry to hear about the rejections. I'm hoping for good news from my remaining schools, but I think I'll get a couple rejections, and those will be tough to deal with even though I already have some great choices. By the way, I'll also be at NYU on April 1st.

Don't worry about it. iirc the chiasu odds for those two schools never go above about 40% even with 4.0/180. There's no shame in being rejected by either school unless you have a Nobel Prize or Fields Medal.

I am curious where they got my info from. If it was LSAC wouldn't they know that I wouldn't be applying to law schools until next fall?

no, a lot of us got a lot of those. i took the lsat last june and maybe 10 schools wrote me saying i could start in 2 months (the same is true of absy, jayhawk, etc). it does seem cruel when others are being held on their waitlist.
